Handicaps

All players to receive full course handicap (i.e. handicap index multiplied by slope rating of either white or red tee).

Shots are worked out based on difference between the 2 course handicaps with no maximum allowance.

Girls will also receive courtesy shots based on difference between the par of the white and red tees. This will be added to the number of shots they receive in their match NOT taken on the hole(s) where the difference in par is.

NB. In Boy v Girl matches, shots are taken using the stroke index relevant to the person receiving the shots.

Example: John v Sarah – John’s course handicap is 9.
Sarah’s course handicap is 16.
Par for white tee is 71.
Par for red tee is 73.
Sarah receives 9 shots in match using stroke indexes 1-9 on red tees.

We encourage all JLO’s to make sure juniors are submitting regular qualifying scores to make sure their handicap is as up to date as possible.
